Have a Blessed Saturday with Jesus. 🌿Seek Him First. Meditate on 1 Timothy 2. Although God is all powerful and all knowing, He has chosen to let us be involved through our prayers in how He is changing the world. While others angrily take sides on political issues, our first priority should be to pray for those in authority.
We should pray that they will trust in Christ. The phrase “all people”captures the heart of the Gospel. The world that God loves includes every person, even cruel dictators and terrorists (John 3:16). He loves us as individuals whom He knows intimately (Psalm 139:13-18). Our earnest prayers for others—whoever they are—will have powerful results (James 5:16).🙏🏾
”I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,“
1 Timothy 2:1-5 NIV
